I'm having trouble to bridge two wireless card which is Atheros AR5213A in
FreeBSD 6.1. I try to make transparent bridge in these two wireless card.
I compiled BRIDGE in kernel and I put
net.link.ether.bridge=1
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=*ath0*,*ath1*
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1
in sysctl.conf.
Following diagram is what I did it.
(192.168.0.1)Ath0----Ath0,Ath1(192.168.0.2)----Ath0(192.168.0.100)
Left unit is wireless router. Middle unit is transparent bridge. Right unit
is client. I set up like this. Ath0 of left unit is AP. Ath0 of middle
unit is Station. Ath1 of middle unit is AP. Ath0 of right unit is Station.
I can ping from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.2 but I can't ping from
192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.1.
I tested wired LAN bridge with same configuration. It works well.
Anyone has idea about this or has same problem. Please, help me. Any kind of
information will save me.
My understanding is that because of how the 802.11 is designed, this
sort of setup is not possible using ethernet bridging code(if_bridge
and friends) if you are using infrastructure mode and a-hoc mode is
kind of slow. WDS may be waht you are looking for but I don't know if
FreeBSD supports it yet..
